One of the best rental cars for an LA trip! Clean car with current features, equipped with self drive- fun and saves you gas money! Host was incredibly helpful and responded quickly. Highly recommend
Kazi was very communicative from the start and made the entire rental process easy. His Veloster N was extremely clean, well maintained, and a lot of fun to drive. As a fellow Veloster N owner, it was nice getting to drive a stock-feeling car while mine is getting some work done. I’d definitely rent from Kazi again!
I had an excellent experience from start to finish. The car was in great condition, extremely reliable, and an absolute pleasure to drive. Everything about the rental process was smooth and hassle-free. The host was outstanding—very professional, helpful, and incredibly responsive whenever I had a question. Communication was quick and easy throughout the entire experience. I would absolutely rent from this host again and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable vehicle and exceptional service. Overall, a fantastic experience!
Jackie was the best host to deal with, and the car was awesome as well! I never entered the car and had 1 million questions and Jackie was never annoyed answering them. Super helpful every step of the way. The car was exactly as described, dropped off and picked up where I want it can’t ask for anything better.! definitely picking out of her fleet Next time I rent a car.!
Perfect car for this gas prices. Had the car for 17 days and only had to fill it up once.
Great experience! The car was really comfortable and enjoyable to drive. For the price, it was a great value. I definitely recommend it and would choose this car again!
Host was punctual and communicative. Car was clean and drove so nicely. Great car with the price of gas right now. Loved it so much, I bought the same car when I returned home!
Easiest car rental I’ve had on Turo. Dude was super nice and I was easily able to extend my trip for an extra day for a great price. Highly recommend for my friends out there visiting the Valley. Thanks man!
Gev was outstanding from start to finish. He was very responsive, personable, and made the entire rental process smooth and hassle-free. The car was spotless, well-maintained, and incredibly fuel-efficient, which made the trip even better. I truly appreciated the excellent communication and attention to detail. I would definitely seek out Gev and his beautiful car again for future trips. Highly recommend!
He was very helpful with every accommodation I needed during my trip and would rent a car from him again
Amazing car! I drove some nice cars in the past (BMWs 1 and 3 series, Mini Cooper, Abarth 124 Spider…), but this Porsche Boxster is on a league of its own. By far the best car I’ve ever driven. Surprisingly comfortable also. Very nice host. Recommended!!
This was the best car for our trip! We have a Prius at home but this one gets the BEST gas mileage!! David was so easy to work with and we will most definitely only use his car moving forward!
Sergey was so kind that he waited and personally handed to me due to the parking lot was full. Great car and I will definitely rent it again. I do like to recommend Sergey about the windshield stickers to replace with a brighter ones as it will improve the driving experience at night. Overall friendly owner, great car and love to rent again in my next trip.
AMAZING car! I plan to rent from Jesse again. The car was clean, reliable, and overall the best car I could have chosen!
Awesome experience from start to finish! The host was super friendly, helpful, and made the whole pickup and drop-off process completely effortless. The car was spotless, ran smoothly, and drove great with zero issues throughout the entire trip. Highly recommend booking with this host—would definitely rent from them again!
Nicole is always extremely accommodating and helpful, even when I realized last minute I made an error in my trip reservation and needed to end the trip a day earlier than planned on the app, she was able to spring into action and retrieve the car. She’s the best host on the app!
